Clinch River Railroad in Germany
Last year I became friends with an N-Scale modeler from Germany, Michael Homberg. Michael is a member of the americaN group, which sets up modular layouts using FREEMON standards. They model and operate realistic radio-dispatched OPS based on North American railroad practices. They even operate in English to be more prototypical!
Michael expressed interest in having a German division of my Clinch River operating on the AmericaN modules, so I sent him a set of decals and some photos, and he commissioned a custom painter to replicate two of my RS-2s and a caboose. It is really weird to see Clinch River equipment operating on a layout in Germany! Here is a link to one of their OPS setups, including two videos as well as lots of photos. Their modeling is top notch! http://www.rm-dp.de/index.php?optio...51:an&Itemid=74 Michael also told me they were just featured in a German modeling magazine, and the Clinch River equipment was part of the article. It is MIBA Special Edition No. 90: "Modellbahnen nach US Vorbild" How crazy is that? :eek: Hope you guys enjoy the photos and videos... Take care, -Phil |
